Beschreibung
First published in 1922, Ulysses is James Joyce's modernist masterpiece, tracing a single day-16 June 1904-in Dublin while radically expanding the formal possibilities of the novel. Structured as a loose contemporary parallel to Homer's Odyssey, the book follows Leopold Bloom, Stephen Dedalus, and Molly Bloom through ordinary routines shaped by memory, desire, and interior reflection. Joyce employs a continuously shifting range of narrative techniques, from interior monologue and free indirect discourse to parody, pastiche, and stylistic experiment, allowing each episode to adopt its own linguistic and structural logic. The result is a work that renders consciousness itself as narrative material, attentive to the texture of thought, sensation, and association.
At once intimate and encyclopedic, Ulysses stands as a central work of twentieth-century literature. Its influence extends across fiction, criticism, and cultural history, not only for its technical daring but for its insistence that everyday life can sustain the highest ambitions of art.

Über den Autor
James Joyce (1882-1941) was an Irish novelist and short-story writer whose work reshaped modern literature. Born in Dublin and later living in continental Europe, Joyce drew extensively on his native city as both setting and imaginative source. His major works, including Dubliners, A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man, Ulysses, and Finnegans Wake, are central to literary modernism, distinguished by formal innovation, linguistic precision, and sustained exploration of consciousness and identity.
